This educational activity will provide the attendee with the knowledge necessary to identify, to treat and/or to refer patients to treatment in order to prevent SCA. Some of the topics to be presented will be an up- to-date reviews of the causes of SCA, current and future risk stratification for predicting SCA, a current review of genetic predisposition to SCA and therapies available to protect those at risk for SCA. In addition, discussion of various disease states such as congestive heart failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and their relation to SCA will take place. Racial and gender differences in identification of those at risk for SCA and in statistics regarding survival of SCA will be presented. This program will provide attendees with information on clinical pathways to capture those at risk for SCA.

During this comprehensive, CME course, expert faculty will update the primary care provider and practicing cardiologist on the latest treatments for heart failure and atrial arrhythmias as well as new therapies being developed. A unique aspect of this course is that attendees will be able to see patients with expert clinicians to update cardiac physical examination skills as well as attend workshops in lipids and hypertension.

A Live Online Q&A Discussion: Comparison of Ticagrelor With Clopidogrel in Patients With a Planned Invasive Strategy for Acute Coronary Syndromes (PLATO): A Randomized, Double-Blind Study

Live Online Q&A - Cardiovascular Event Rates in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Individuals With and Without Established Atherothrombosis (from the REduction of Atherothrombosis for Continued Health [REACH] Registry)

Takes place entirely ONLINE at CardioCareLive.com. Intended for cardiologists, primary care physicians, endocrinologists, nurses, diabetes educators, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals with expertise in the field of cardiometabolic risk factors. Attendees will be able to earn up to 13 hours of Continuing Medical Education credit. The Chairman and Course Director of the program is Dr. Roger Blumenthal, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease. Following this program, participants should be able to: 1) Improve the assessment of cardiovascular risk factors in patients, 2) Determine primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention strategies, 3) Understand the impact of such factors as ethnicity, exercise, and diet on the reduction of heart disease, and 4) Recognize the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to cardiovascular patient care.

This course is designed to provide attendees with a high-yield and broad review of stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases, including cerebrovascular physiology and pathophysiology, primary and secondary stroke prevention, acute ischemic stroke evaluation and management, neuro-critical care, brain aneurysms and vascular malformations, intracranial hemorrhage, and complications of stroke.

This two-day workshop will address the need to integrate quality improvement and safety into medical education. Designed for health profession educators, this workshop will disseminate the knowledge and tools necessary to successfully implement QI and safety education in undergraduate medical education (UME), graduate medical education (GME), continuing medical education (CME), and allied health schools.

Scripps Genomic Medicine (a Scripps Health and The Scripps Research Institute joint initiative) in collaboration with the J. Craig Venter Institute is pleased to announce The Future of Genomic Medicine III conference taking place on Friday, March 5 and Saturday, March 6, 2010 in beautiful La Jolla, California. Once again, next year’s program will be held at the Neurosciences Institute Auditorium on The Scripps Research Institute campus. Next year’s program will once again host a dynamic group of speakers who will cover a wide range of topics. The Friday afternoon session will focus on Technology Breakthroughs and Challenges whereas the Saturday session will feature a wide variety of topics along with keynote speakers. Our goal is to continue to examine the salient progress and challenges in the field of genomics with concise, 20-minute presentations, allowing ample time for interactive panel and participant discussions following each topic series.
